Artist HOTTEA began his work with typography on fences turning an ordinary everyday object into something designers and artists use every day- the grid. The foundation behind the work of HOTTEA is to use the existing infrastructure and create an artwork or idea that is in harmony within the given space. In addition to adapting to the physical qualities of a space or surface- the artist plays close attention to the movement and life in and around the space. For example - do people stop and socialize within a given area or is it common to continue moving? What other physical objects are around the area? Is there a river perhaps or maybe a busy street? All of these factors come into play when HOTTEA designs and activates a space or surface. When experiencing the artist's work - you almost feel as if the piece was designed for you because that's exactly who he was thinking of. When the viewer has a personal connection with a piece of artwork there is a good chance it will become a lasting memory and remind that person of the space. When artwork is able to create a lasting impression even after the artwork is gone the artwork lives on forever within the subconscious of the viewer.
